With structure and depth rivaling some of the greatest Cotes-du-Rhone, the Borsao Tres Picos reigns supreme as one of the greatest values to come out of Spain. Hailing from the esoteric region of Campo de Borja (regarded as the capital of bargains), it attacks with black plums, figs, and blueberries but finishes with a seductively smooth chocolate ganache. Drink with roast beef, hamburgers, or pizza.

Deep and sweet, Tres Picos Borsao is cherry red in colour with a hint of purple tones. In the nose, there is a boundless bouquet of mature red fruits with traces of flowers that are typical of the best Garnachas. In the mouth, it is rich and well-structured simultaneously conveying flavours of blackberries, strawberries and tones of leather, vanilla and plums. Perfectly combined with a sweet and pleasant tannin, Tres Picos Borsao leaves us with a long, silky and balanced finish.

I was surprised by the balsamic, minty, hinting-on-eucalyptus nose of the 2015 Tres Picos Garnacha to the point that I thought I was smelling the Syrah Zarihs. But no, this is a ripe and heady Garnacha aged in French oak barrels for five months. There are intense roasted aromas and a rich, meaty palate with herbal and smoky flavors, a bit heady, reminiscent of the nose. A very showy Tres Picos. 384,000 bottles produced.
